OAKLAND, Calif. — The Astros and Athletics have played four times this season. The A’s have won every game. And after Oakland’s 11-2 pounding of the Astros on Monday at the Coliseum, the winner has outscored the loser a combined 34-11.

Righthander Brad Peacock (1-1, 4.83) will attempt to reverse the trend Tuesday, facing his old team and promising righthander A.J. Griffin (2-0, 1.93) in a 9:05 p.m. CT American League West matchup.

The Astros (4-9) have lost three consecutive games and nine of 12. The A’s (10-4) are in first place in the AL West.
